Chapter 444: Industrial Support (Subscription Request)
Not long after the church's inspection team left, Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to study the natural disaster combat skills carefully when another application was delivered to his desk.
The Carlisles, the Castro's, the McKinleys...
In these three Norman duchies, all the families that were originally hostile to the Lord of Flowers came.
The marquises no longer had the arrogance they once had, and they bowed and scraped before Loy with only one purpose:
I want to import some machinery and equipment and develop basic industries like the Norman family and the Freud family.
You can't say that they have no regard for their reputation. In fact, they have worked very hard to hold on until now.
However, the Bonaparte Empire behind them has become cowardly, and it would be unreasonable to expect them to remain on the verge of a war.
Luo Yi had to admit that it felt pretty good to have his former enemy kneel in front of him!
Of course, after all, these are just matters within the Norman Duchy and are not a big deal, but the applications from other countries are what give him a headache.
The Principality of João, the Kingdom of Tudor, the Kingdom of Bourbon, the Kingdom of Cordoba, the Principality of Fatema...
These countries also submitted applications one after another, and insisted on sending an inspection team to take a look.
That’s not all, there are still follow-up applications, which are constantly submitted through various channels.
The Old World does not only have four major empires. Those are the most powerful ones. There are also many other weak and ancient countries.
They had all remained silent during the battle for supremacy in the empire. No one wanted to be noticed at this time, and each of them wished they could become invisible.
But what about now?
Magical machinery is about to become the mainstream of the era, and several major empires are preparing to focus on its development, so they naturally have to keep up.
In other words, any country that has some aspirations and does not want to be eliminated by the times must find ways to seek change.
Then, they took the first step of change to come to Xianhualing for inspection.
For a time, Flower Collar became very famous and even became a hot commodity.
The major overlords all do this, and the church has also sent people. It’s not too much for us to follow and see, right?
Of course, they thought so and didn't think it was excessive, but Luo Yi really didn't want to entertain them.
Are you kidding?
Several groups have come, it’s annoying enough.
If people continued to come like this, he would have to hold banquets every day, find ways to receive them, deal with all kinds of trivial matters, and calm down conflicts between the nobles. It would be simply life-threatening.
Most importantly, he still had to cultivate, develop industry, and build cities...
There are so many things I can do. Is receiving guests every day a big deal?
Well, that’s what Luo Yi said, and that’s what he thought, but it can’t be done that way.
After all, they all live in the Old World, and they meet each other every day. The Raymond family cannot ignore the applications submitted by others through formal channels.
In the end, Roy could only open some areas, set a fixed tour route, and let Lord Shik Cruz select some people to do the reception work.
Of course, to this end, he also upgraded the hospitality level of Brussels, opening several more casinos, dance halls, taverns and luxury hotels.
Of course we have to do an investigation, but when we come, we have to eat well, have fun, and leave all the funds for the investigation.
This can also be considered as generating income for the tourism industry in Brussels.
It just so happened that an industrial zone and two residential communities were established in the new city of Brussels.
After some people are relocated there, the vacant space can be used to upgrade and renovate the old city area.
After the plan was finalized, Luo Yi thought that he could live in peace for a while, but he didn't expect that Prince Eros of the Naga Empire would come.
Originally, the trade negotiations between Flower Territory and R'lyeh City should have taken place long ago.
However, the arrival of the inspection teams one after another took up Loy's energy, so he had to postpone the task again and again.
As a result, the sea prince couldn't wait any longer.
He was really brave. After the church's inspection team left, he actually organized a group of sea creatures and teleported them through the blood gate to the seashore of Flower Territory.
He even brought his sister, that crazy woman Alicia.
To be honest, when Luo Yi heard the news, he was stunned.
Are all sea princes so brave?
Going to the territory of a foreign race without any scruples?
However, despite all the complaints, Luo Yi had to come out in person to receive him.
In order to prevent their identities from being revealed, Roy also asked Ms. Palacios to prepare a batch of transformation potions, allowing them to temporarily transform into humans before visiting the magic factory.
Of course, that crazy woman Alicia has no interest in magical machines. She just takes her maid to have fun all over the city every day.
Everything here is new to her.
Prince Eros's love for magical machinery is true love!
He was not just visiting, he was already planning how to transport some of the machinery to the bottom of the sea to see if it could be used.
To be honest, the environment was too different, and Luo Yi didn't dare to make a decision, so he could only let him try it first.
Of course, since he was here, the issue of submarine trade was put on the negotiation table, and the sea monster king Alexius was called over.
The three parties signed a trade treaty in Lion Manor.
Loy and Prince Eros were considered Party A and Party B, while Alexios's Siren Tribe served as a transportation company.
The bloody gate was demolished and rebuilt within the Siren Tribe, which is safer.
From now on, all goods will be transferred through the Siren Tribe. Although they can only earn some transportation fees, the scale is already quite considerable.
If he really had to share the middleman's money with them, Alexios would not be able to rest easy.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, the impact brought by the alliance inspection team was still fermenting in various countries.
First, within the Habsburg Empire, the citizens of the empire were very angry about the actions of the Flower Territory, believing that this was a blatant aid to the enemy.
But when the Imperial Gazette published an article titled "Magic Machinery Represents the Future, Habsburgs Are the Greatest Race", its reputation immediately changed.
Although the Battle of the Marne was a strategic failure for the empire, and the plan to quickly destroy the Bonaparte Empire also failed,
But ordinary citizens of the Empire cannot see that far.
What they could see was the frequent news of the empire's victories, which directly occupied large tracts of territory.
Seeing that the Empire was outnumbered, they still attacked with great force.
I saw a large number of captives being escorted into the empire and filled into the hardest and most tiring industries.
He also saw the power of the magic weapons, which suppressed the other overlords so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.
That alone is enough for them to be proud of.
Now there is news that other empires want to learn their magical machinery and various systems. At this point, the sense of national pride is skyrocketing.
The most significant effect was that the Imperial Recruiting Office received many applications.
As for the three major empires, especially the Bonaparte Empire, although the war has not stopped, in the unoccupied areas, those cities have set off a wave of unrest that is higher than the previous one.
Learning advanced systems, promoting magical machinery, developing industry and magical weapons have become the slogans of many advanced elements.
They even used parades and speeches to try to awaken more people to think about the future and their understanding of war.
It seems that they have all become representatives of advancement.
To many nobles, they were just causing trouble, but you couldn't deny their patriotism.
It is because of their patriotism, because they want to make this country a better place and save the nation, that they use their own ways to promote changes in the country.
From the starting point, their behavior is also good.
It was also under this trend that not long after the inspection team returned, some people of status and position came to the Flowers Ring.
Inspection is just inspection, for the purpose of convincing yourself and others, but if you really want to develop, you have to put it into practice.
Therefore, they come to Xianhualing to do two things - purchasing magic energy machinery and industrial support plans.
There is actually nothing much to say about the purchase of magic energy machinery. They have no industrial foundation, so they have to buy some machinery first.
But industrial development requires more than just machinery; it also requires talent, systems, planning, and arrangements...
What they want from Luo Yi is this support, even if it is just to send someone to give some guidance.
What can Roy say?
These people were very generous and gave a lot of good things, even more than one bottle of awakening potion. He really couldn't refuse!
Moreover, within the empire, the magical machinery has already undergone one or two rounds of upgrades, and it would be a waste to leave those old machines gathering dust in the warehouse.
Pull it out for repair and maintenance, and ensure it runs normally, then you can sell it for a good price.
The empire was also very happy to do such business, as the wealth and materials gained could greatly alleviate financial pressure.
In addition to the normal textile, mining, smelting and processing machinery, what they are most interested in is the bullet production line.
They finally realized that compared to weapons, the biggest loss was actually bullets.
If it is purely imported, the cost will be too high, even the size of the coalition forces cannot afford it.
It is worth mentioning that these industries have taken root everywhere, bringing impacts in all aspects.
In particular, the demand for manpower and high-quality talents also forced the government to begin to liberate serfs and optimize the education system to a certain extent.
To be honest, if there were no war, these alone would be enough to cause chaos within each country.
Of course, all of the above cannot be accomplished in a day or two.
In fact, in the last two months of the 314th year of the New God Calendar, many people in the Flower Territory were busy with related matters.
Moreover, the investigations, machinery sales and industrial support programs triggered by this continued for several years.
It is no exaggeration to say that he made a fortune, and even brought Luo Yi huge fame.
It was also during these last two months that the Empire organized two large-scale battles on the main battlefield in order to win victory, intending to destroy the main forces of the coalition.
Second update, second update!
