No one at the top can hinder reform, and since the middle-level people all welcome it, naturally the lower-level people are also happy and encouraged. No one messes up any of the links. Ever since listening to Lydia's speech, Lin Xingchen has had even more admiration for this woman.
This is a natural orator. She can summarize all the contradictions and answer them for you in a gentle way. After listening to her, you will not only no longer be troubled but feel that you were indeed wrong. This woman is born to be an expert in MLM. This is Lin Xingchen's evaluation of her.
However, she was not selling her products but her dreams. She used the excuse that only by becoming stronger could one get more, and thus made all the nobles willingly participate.
Someone had taken care of the aspect that he was least good at for him, so he was naturally happy and relaxed. The things in Gel Province had been almost completed. Alfred, the heir of the George family, was very happy to take over Lin Xingchen's job. After all, this was an industry in his family's territory and he was more careful about it than anyone else.
It was busy until early November when the scroll that Lin Xingchen gave to Evelyn and others was crushed. He hurriedly explained the situation to Queen Lydia and asked for a long vacation. Fixed-point teleportation was a very practical skill taught to him by his ancestors.
Evelyn and Anna, who had been pregnant for more than three years, were finally about to give birth. When they hurriedly ran out from the backyard, the entire Duke's Castle was in chaos.
The servants were all busy with their own things, while those who could not help for the time being gathered in a corner of the castle waiting for their little master to come.
When they arrived at the delivery room that had been prepared for two years, Green, Arnold and others had already been waiting here. Even the ancestor Christian came here through the Tree of Life.
Seeing Lin Xingchen coming, the servants all bowed respectfully: "How is Grandpa?"
"Don't worry! Linda is inside, and Anna's mother and their eldest sister Addie have also come in, accompanied by many doctors."
The old man's tone was very nervous, but there was no change on his rejuvenated face.
"Don't worry, little one. The High Elves are relatively worry-free when it comes to giving birth to offspring. Compared to dragons and other races, we are already pretty good! I heard from Green that your two wives have been pregnant for almost three years. This is considered to be very talented seedlings in our tribe." The old ancestor's voice was more normal than Green's. This guy shrunk himself to the size of a fist and kept flying around, looking very happy.
"Can our clan determine talent through gestation time?" Since she couldn't help with the birthing matter, she had to chat with her ancestors to distract herself from her anxiety.
"Of course, the longer the gestation period, the better the child's talent. I remember that the longest gestation period in our clan was for a genius who took more than four years to conceive. His talent was the best even among the three royal families."
"Ancestor, will the child's talent be affected by the fact that his mother is a human?" Green also joined the online group chat.
"No, don't say that we high elves are just ordinary natural elves. After combining their talents with other races, they are basically based on elf genes. This is the source of our strength."
"Ancestor, when you mentioned genes, why didn't you tell me that we high elves are doing research in this area?" Lin Xingchen suddenly thought of something when he heard the word genes.
"We have had this research for a long time, but it is no longer necessary for us."
"Ancestor, I have heard from my companions about some legends about the high elves. In order to achieve immortality, they did not hesitate to merge the genes of other races. Didn't any of you think about the topic of immortality at that time?"
"Haha... kid, immortality has always been a topic that we, or all intelligent races, cannot avoid. We will naturally not give up on this topic, but in the end many people gave up." The ancestors always give some fresh stories.
"It's too early for you to think about these things. When you need to start considering eternal life, I will naturally tell you the way. My child, you need to remember that the three royal families are not equal to the high elves. They are just failed test subjects. We are the real darlings of the rules." The old ancestor had something to say, and no matter how Lin Xingchen asked, he refused to reveal more.
Since he refused to talk about these secrets, he had to turn the topic to the current construction boom. As a big boss who once led the construction of the Sky City, he still gave a lot of valuable suggestions and some knowledge about magic circles and magic.
Everyone was waiting anxiously from morning till evening, and finally it was Old Antique who came up with a way to help the mother give birth smoothly.
As Lin Xingchen was cursing, the old man instructed him to prepare a few bottles of medicine. After calling Linda out and teaching her how to use it, good news came from the delivery room in less than half an hour... the baby was born.
When they saw that they were two girls, both Christian and Green looked a little long-faced. However, to Lin Xingchen, girls were more caring than his son.
Although Green was a little disappointed, she was his great-granddaughter after all. He still happily held the child in his arms, looked at her left and right, and was so happy.
Children are loved with love, so Green changed his usual habits and stayed by his two children's side whenever they were free.
"Grandpa, don't you dislike girls?" Looking at the old man's skillful movements of holding his daughter, Lin Xingchen reminded him that you are a patient who favors boys over girls.
"Bullshit, who said I don't like girls? I'm disappointed, but I like all children of my family." Green's love is indeed felt.
As the old duke, he issued an order to the entire territory to reduce all taxes for one month. Such a big move made Albert and others quite uncomfortable.
It was also through this incident that Lin Xingchen and Avril saw Green's prestige. Those who usually bowed and scraped to Lin Xingchen and his wife, acted as if they were seeing their own father in front of the old Duke.
Many people who were beyond the control of the couple saw the difference from the old man's little action. Although the territory and title were given to Lin Xingchen, they still only recognized the old man.
The full moon celebrations for the two children were very grand, and Queen Lydia personally attended to give her blessings to the two children.
For those merchants doing business in the territory, this was their first chance to build relationships with the Duke's Castle, and each of their moves was very impressive. Seeing this scene, Eve felt very uncomfortable.
It took a long time of coaxing to finally bring her back to life. After all, the other two had children but she was still silent. Her mother, who had been at odds with her, also came all the way to Maple Leaf Territory, partly to participate in this event and partly to urge her daughter to hurry up. The two girls were in such a bad situation, it would be a disaster if they gave birth to a son.
Sister Eddie also gave me all kinds of advice, including a lot of secret recipes.
This winter in the Kingdom of Kurma is not as deserted as in previous years. Construction sites are bustling everywhere, and businessmen are taking advantage of this favorable wind to look for business opportunities.
In order to enhance the image of Queen Lydia, Lin Xingchen held a speech for her. This speech entitled "The Great Era" was very successful. It not only changed the shadow of the war launched in winter, but also allowed the merchants to find out the development path of the kingdom and strengthened their confidence.
Lin Xingchen was caught off guard by this war. News came from the Northern Duke of Leicester that a huge iron ore vein had been discovered in a mountain range near him.
But this mountain range belongs to a neighboring principality. The Duke of Leicester brought up this matter when Kurma was short of iron ore, but at first no one realized that the gap in iron ore would be so huge. After Lin Xingchen spread his hands and said that there was no way to build a railway without iron ore, the Duke of Leicester quietly began to recruit people.
With the seal of Queen Lydia's consent, the Duke of Leicester launched a war on the grounds that the other side had invaded his territory without reason.
This war was linked by the Nobles' Union, and all the nobles participated, including the Maple Leaf Territory.
The coalition army totaled 150,000, with the Duke of Leicester as the supreme commander. Green, who usually never spoke on these matters, made his voice heard for the first time.
A talented person was recommended to the Duke of Leicester. Regardless of the fact that they were both dukes or that Maple Leaf Territory had unprecedented support for this war, Leicester accepted Albert's proposal to join the army as an assistant.
At first, Lester was still not very reassured, but as Albert became more and more adept, Lester finally handed over power directly to Albert.
He also realized that this guy was indeed a military genius. Anyway, if he won, it would be his credit, and if he lost, it would be Albert's disappointment. It was not Lester's fault, so he was happy to watch the show.
It took only one month to capture a principality. Perhaps this record was not so brilliant, but all the losses and gains were negligible in comparison, which was an incredible thing.
Lin Xingchen only learned about the war after it had begun. He was so busy in Geer Province that he didn't pay much attention to it.
It was only at the celebration party that the connection between all these events was made clear. Albert was conferred the title of earl by the Queen as a reward for his command.
Although the Duke of Leicester did not receive any other promotion, Lydia said that once the construction facilities at Ger's place were completed, all the personnel would be transferred to his territory to build a steel plant. He was already satisfied with such an achievement.
Standing at the highest point of Maple Leaf Territory and looking at the snow outside the window, Lin Xingchen didn't know where he would stop, but now he didn't want to stop for a moment. The most shining city on the continent had already taken shape and he was the master of this city.
