Looking at the dazzling lines on the map, Lin Xingchen took a deep breath and forced himself to be serious.

There are now three large steel mills in Kurma that are being built overtime, and the Geer Steel Mill in Maple Leaf Territory was just completed not long ago.

Because we don't want to spread our business too wide at once, we plan to have thirty magic furnaces with the same output, which can produce 600,000 tons of rails per month.

This is an achievement that was achieved with the combined efforts of the entire country. The annual steel production of 7.7 million tons is enough to scare many countries, including the Sharpnero Empire.

But even such output is still not enough for Kurma. He has to eat one bite at a time. Lydia and the nobles can go crazy but he can't join them. The decision-making level of the entire kingdom must have one or two people with calm minds.

He and Prime Minister Frank are among them. Ever since Lin Xingchen came to the royal capital, this cunning man has driven his son, who had a grudge against Lin Xingchen, back to his hometown. Kleist, who once was jealous of Lin Xingchen, also made a lot of contributions in the last war.

However, Frank still did not allow him to return to the capital. In order to resolve Lin Xingchen's hatred for him, he apologized to his son in person more than once. He also made guarantees through Green, Queen Lydia and others, guaranteeing that Crest would not have any bad intentions towards his family in the future.

Things have come to this point and although Lin Xingchen also wanted to understand the situation, the other party has already been humble enough and it would be difficult for him to get away with it if he was so tactless.

After the two parties reached a settlement, Frank's cooperation with Lin Xingchen in government affairs became even more harmonious. The reform of the entire kingdom would never have been so smooth without the help of this smart man.

The boxes on the map are all railway routes that have been calculated by a large number of people. No more than five people know this route, and anyone who responds to the lines on the route can make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, people who have seen these routes are not interested in money. What Lydia needs is the queen, what Frank needs is the family's glory and title, and what Lin Xingchen needs is planning so that he can help him develop his territory more appropriately.

As for the goblins Gog and Ivan, their idea was even simpler. They hoped to let the world know of their existence through this performance.

The goblins have become guests of honor in all chambers of commerce and nobles. Although these goblins do not meet some of the human aesthetic standards, sometimes wisdom can allow people to overcome racial prejudices.

Without the crisis of survival, the goblins also welcomed the birth of a large number of newborns. When Gaoge's second son was born, Lin Xingchen and Anna and others went to celebrate for them. As the value of the goblins became more and more important, many people have set their sights on them.

Faced with temptation, the goblins withstood the test. In these two generations, perhaps no goblins will leave Maple Leaf Territory, but after three generations, perhaps some goblins with different ideas will appear.

Although the use of the magic furnace, the crystallization of the highest civilization of the high elves, has ensured a stable output of steel, Lin Xingchen knows that this output of steel can only temporarily solve the kingdom's most urgent problem, and the demand for steel will only increase in the future.

Although my other self in another time and space does not pay attention to things like steel, when I surf the Internet I see those clickbait headlines that are all in units of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of tons.

As the door opened, Avril came in with hot milk: "Take a break! There's no point in rushing things in the kingdom."

"When I help the kingdom, I am also helping ourselves. We cannot rely on the Maple Leaf Territory alone. I will be returning to the capital in two days, and I will trouble you with the territory again." He hugged Evelyn and whispered these words in her ear, which made Evelyn feel very embarrassed.

"Anna will be back to help soon. Anyway, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the territory. Just take care of your health."

The first discussion meeting after the beginning of spring was held as scheduled in the council hall. Lin Xingchen, the main speaker and planner, spoke without being interrupted. Everyone listened attentively to his every decision, which was related to how much gold coins they would have in the future.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, and all the adults, the above is only about one-tenth of what I want to talk about. This one-tenth is a very important part. Without your cooperation, there is no need to talk about the other contents." After speaking to a certain scope, Lin Xingchen stopped, summarized his content, and waited to see the situation of the Queen and others.

"Your Excellency the Duke, isn't your plan about increasing workers' wages a bit too much? Just as you said, only increasing wages can make them work harder, which has been proven. But increasing wages by almost doubled at once is too much!" The speaker was the kingdom's treasurer, a being that looked like a humanoid monster.

"My Lord Treasurer, the doubling I proposed is just a setting and a hypothesis. How to implement it in the end is up to you. If you want to retain talents and make them work hard for you, that's up to you to figure out."

"Everyone, our kingdom lacks talent in all aspects. If you are unwilling to let go of your prejudices, I estimate that the speed of development will be greatly slowed down. I think the Queen will not agree with this, and you will not agree with it either.

Since everyone disagrees with slowing down the pace of development, then we must show some sincerity. My request is very simple: all magicians from various families need to step forward to help, and naturally my family is no exception."

“In my plan, we need to open five higher magic schools, one hundred secondary magic schools, and a magic school in every city.

Knowledge is the driving force for changing destiny. Now you should have realized that we have plenty of strong laborers, but we are very short of jobs that require a lot of professional knowledge. If you are still unwilling to relax the education barrier at this time, then I can only give up my current position, because without relevant talents, I really have no way to carry out subsequent reforms. "

Lin Xingchen was trying to defeat them. This group of nobles refused to give in to the liberalization of education proposed last year. Now, half a year has passed and Lin Xingchen brought it up again. If they don't agree, he plans to go home and stop playing with them.

"Your Excellency the Duke, it's not that we don't support the liberalization of education, but you've liberalized it too much. The amount of gold coins that the national treasury will have to pay will be a huge amount." The treasurer's face was full of grievance.

"I think you have all miscalculated. You think it is a waste to take out so many gold coins from the national treasury to build the academy. I have already told you that this is not something that can be accomplished in one or two years. I plan to complete it in ten years.

And don't forget that the existence of the academy is to provide a place for you to accelerate the speed of making money. You can continue with the method of sponsoring students that you have always used.

How much does it cost to sponsor a magician? The tuition and various expenses of an ordinary student are only so much. As long as you have a talent, you can make a lot of money. "In order to make these bastards give in, Lin Xingchen also took great pains.

"What the Dukes of Stars say is very beneficial to the country and to all of you. If you disagree, I intend to let the national treasury take on this task alone." Lydia would not back down on anything that was beneficial to the country.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we disagree, but building an academy requires a large number of teachers, and we don't have so many idle people nowadays!" A noble complained.

"You don't need to worry about this. I have found a solution. During this period, I have discussed with Priest Victoria and the leaders of other sects. They will provide personnel to teach the children."

"Your Majesty, why haven't I heard you mention this matter?" Lin Xingchen frowned. This matter could be a big or small one, and it was not appropriate to let the clergy teach the children.

"Lin, don't worry. I have also considered the issues you are worried about. After consultation with the Religious Council, everyone has compromised on some issues. Their willingness to provide teachers this time is also an attempt. They will not preach to the children during the teaching period. They will only allow preaching after the children enter the advanced college."

Lydia is a very resourceful queen. This religious council was proposed by Lin Xingchen and was established and improved by her.

"Since His Majesty has already handled it, I won't ask any more questions." Lin Xingchen was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

Queen Lydia stood up and looked around at everyone below: "Everyone, since the reform, you have all received many privileges, but now we need you to make some contributions to the country. I hope you will not refuse. I can assure you that your losses today will be compensated in the future. The kingdom's progress cannot be stopped and no one is allowed to hold everyone back at this time.

Here I emphasize once again that the Duke of Xingchen's reforms will receive my full support. Prime Minister Frank told me that he will ensure that all the Duke's reforms on government affairs are implemented smoothly. Here I also hope that you can consider the country first and then yourself like Prime Minister Frank. "

Having said that, everyone present here needs to consider whether they will be mistaken for the chicken that is killed if they jump out.

Institutional reforms have always been the responsibility of Frank and Queen Lydia. Lin Xingchen didn't want to get involved because he was not good at it. The queen also agreed with his point of view, so he only took out a comparative plan and the people who implemented it were Frank and Queen Lydia.
