There are four districts in Dawn Castle.

From outside to inside, they are the military alert area, the meeting area, the morning light treasure house, and the dawn garden.

At this moment, Rosen's perfect clone was staying in the meeting area, discussing new policies for governing Weilan with top figures from various fields in the twenty-five counties of Weilan.

There were so many people coming, an average of more than 400 from each county, and more than 10,000 people in total, filling the meeting area of ​​Dawn Castle to the brim.

The one who can finally walk into the Hall of Glory in the meeting area and discuss with Rosen face to face.

If he was a cultivator, he would be at least at the peak of the advanced level. If he was a businessman, he would have at least 50,000 Oggs of assets.

But it’s not just practitioners and businessmen.

Craftsmen with top skills, rural elders with high rural reputation, even bards, painters, and even prostitutes, who have always been regarded as a lowly profession, were invited.

They strictly adhere to the slogan of not looking at background, but only looking at ability and character. It is almost an oversized version of the Island Citizens Assembly back then.

In fact, the high priest of the Grand Temple of Saint Veran and the Adrian family insisted on coronating the Duke first, but Rosen rejected it.

He knew the greatest source of his power, so he insisted on first setting the basic route for governing Weilan, and then finding time to hold the coronation ceremony for the Duke.

While the front area was having a heated discussion, Rosen and his family came to the Dawn Garden, which was specially built for the Duke to live in.

Selena and the others knew that Rosen had a puppet clone, but they did not observe carefully and just thought that the one in the meeting area was just a more advanced puppet.

At this moment, she was holding the arm of her husband Rosen and strolling in the beautiful garden where she grew up, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She thought she would never come back in this life, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.

"Isn't the garden pretty, dear?"

Rosen glanced at the thriving sea roses, looking at the blue and white flowers surging in the breeze like waves, and praised sincerely: "This is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen."

Selena was very happy: "Then we will spend the rest of our lives here?"

Unexpectedly, Rosen shook his head.

"No, dear, this will become a villa, and Dawn City will still be the richest city in all of Weilan, but Weilan's capital cannot be located by the sea."

Dawn City is a coastal city. Not far from Storm Bay is the Gilded Strait, and more than 200 kilometers beyond that is Aaron.

In the event of a war, if we lose at sea, Aaron's warships can enter Storm Bay and directly fire at Dawn Garden.

As for naval warfare, it depends not only on skills but also on luck.

If you are not careful, all your belongings may be buried at the bottom of the sea.

Therefore, the capital of Weilan must not be so close to Aaron.

Selena was surprised, and then she understood Rosen's idea.

In the past, Weilan was Aaron’s puppet, so it didn’t matter that the capital was in Dawn City, but that would definitely not be the case in the future.

She asked softly: "Where is the new capital going to be located?"

“It’s still under discussion.”

"The location is tentatively set at Mondanya, the capital of Monte County, in the middle reaches of the Oran River. The Oran River connects to the Storm Bay in Dawn City, and it is at least 300 kilometers away from the coast. At the same time, the Earl of Monte County is doomed."

"I remember that Mondanya seemed very simple."

"It's good to be simple. It's just right to tear it down and design and rebuild it from scratch."

"It should be built in the style of the latest cities, with the most advanced urban water supply and drainage systems first, so that every household can use the cleanest water with just a switch, and no feces, urine or other dirty excrement can be seen on the road."

Selena's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's great!"

"Finally, the city roads must be widened, and the widest and smoothest roads must be built between Mondania City and Dawn City, as well as the major cities of Weilan, to transport goods, just like we did on the island."

Regarding transportation, Rosen not only wants to build highways in the world, but also plans to build trains.

There is not much technical difficulty in building trains. As long as you invest money, you can build them.

Trains have large capacity, low transportation costs and high speed, which can greatly promote the flow of people and goods between the provinces of Weilan.

Selena couldn't keep up with Rosen's thinking on these development details.

In fact, she always felt that her husband's thinking was particularly unconventional and his imagination was extremely rich. What was strange was that the final effect was particularly good.

"Oh, dear, you can do whatever you want without telling me."

She immediately changed the subject: "But I have a concern. This will surely cost a lot of money, right? Do we have that much money?"

Rosen laughed and raised his hand to brush his wife's temples that were messed up by the wind.

"Don't worry, dear. I'll find a way to deal with the money."

He has decided to usher in the era of credit notes.

If you don't have money, then start the printing press! Of course, Weilan, who had just experienced the fake deposit certificate storm, had lost confidence in any deposit certificate-type stuff.

Even the entire Natural Alliance's bank deposit business was greatly affected.

A lot of preparation is needed to restore people's confidence.

Promoting this matter will be the main task of the Duke Rosen for a long time to come.

If done well, not only can we flexibly allocate various resources in the country, but we can also collect large amounts of seigniorage from abroad in the future and suck the blood of the Natural Alliance.

Of course, to achieve the latter point requires a lot of work and it cannot be achieved overnight.

Selena's voice came from beside me.

"My dear, these servants look clumsy. I will go and help them arrange the new home."

Rosen nodded: "Go ahead, I will also focus on controlling the puppet duke in the front yard."

Selena was very familiar with the Dawn Castle, and even most of the servants in the castle. She was able to make arrangements easily and enjoyed it.

Under the guard of Alia, Rosen sat in the shaded pavilion of the garden and began to look through a pile of newly collected data on Weilan.

"There are only two small civilian shipyards in the whole of Weilan, and they can only build wooden sailing cargo ships under 500 tons, with a total annual production capacity of 5 ships."

"We don't have the ability to build warships. All warships and large cargo ships are purchased from Aaron."

"Tsk~~"

Although he had known this information for a long time, when he actually saw the detailed data of the dock, Rosen still had the urge to catch Reid from Greystone Island and give him a few slaps in the face.

Although Aaron has limitations, it would be a good idea to build a few more civilian shipyards and train shipbuilders. Two shipyards and five small boats a year would be a little better than nothing.

"We need to expand quickly and build enough new warships!"

Rosen could well imagine that within half a year at most, Aaron's Lion Fleet would seize the opportunity to head north and strike him hard while his footing was unstable.

This is something that is bound to happen, regardless of personal will or reason, even if Danger doesn't want to do it.

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Dange will definitely be swept up in this huge interest group and will do his best to harm Weilan.

This attack will surely be extremely fierce, and will be the battle for Weilan's founding of the country.

If Weilan didn't go back, he would lose this fresh and hot Duke throne.

Perhaps he could survive, but he would become a stray dog, and the fate of his family would not necessarily be much better than that of the Earl of Southern County.

"We need to build warships and develop aircraft vigorously. We need to invest absolute resources in the development of these two national treasures."

"We must also speed up the construction of coastal defense weapons. Even if we cannot defeat them at sea, we must prevent the Lion warship from landing."

Although there are already 10 new Black Stone warships, plus more than 40 modified artillery sailing ships received from the Duke of Dawn, they are still not enough.

Because Aaron's ships are very large, there are many of them, the caliber of their guns is also larger, and they will definitely use the Black Stone warships that were developed urgently.

Therefore, this naval battle will be a real tough battle.

Before winning the upcoming battle to establish a nation, Rosen does not plan to invest too many resources in other areas. At most, he will just make a prototype.

Rosen continued to look at the second statistic.

"Weilan's official mages cost 580,000, senior mages cost 80,000, intermediate mages cost 200,000, and junior mages cost 300,000. They are all traditional mages. Although they learn new-age magic, they are seriously out of touch with the latest achievements in magic."

'There are 2.89 million informal mages with low-level mana. Apart from their mana, their skills are mostly mediocre.'

Rosen smiled and said, "Very good, much better than the situation on the White Sturgeon Island~"

At the beginning, the White Sturgeon Island was truly poor.

For this group of mages, Rosen’s idea is to train them first and then put them on the job.

If you don't have enough ability and are unwilling to learn, then just stay where you want.

Then comes the third statistical content.

'There are 11.38 million landless farmers in the South, 60% of whom entered the nobles' plantations to grow various cash crops, and 40% entered the emerging factories to become workers.'

In other words, about 4.5 million people are a brand new working class, and the other 6 million or so can become workers if things go well.

"With the fertile land of the southern Great Plains and the high yield of staple food like potatoes, there is no need for so many farmers."

“So, I have enough workers.”

"If these workers can also gain mana, then I will have a large number of mana workers. Combined with the assembly line, the production capacity can be increased wildly."

How do workers gain mana?

Of course, it is to promote the practice methods.

The working class naturally possesses a high degree of organization and obedience. As long as they are given the correct practice methods and environment, a large number of mana workers will soon emerge.

"Most of Weilan's workers are farmers. The Thirteen Volumes of Island Enlightenment is still too difficult. We need to simplify it and make a catchy mnemonic."

As a ten-ring wizard, Rosen knew very well how to practice most efficiently.

He also knew very well that as long as the dross was eliminated and the essence was retained, even the dumbest person, as long as he persevered, could touch the magic ring and gain magic power.

The next statistics is "A Rough Study on the Distribution of Island Resources".

"Ha~ The black stone mine is unexpectedly rich, wow~~ that's great!"

Black Rock Mine is the combustion source of the new era, and in the Rosen Plan, it is also an excellent fuel for the transition period.

Weilan has huge reserves, so there is no need to worry about being controlled by others in terms of energy.

"However, the island is still too small, and the resources are unevenly distributed. Many resources simply don't exist. This is probably a common problem on islands."

Weilan Island is also an island. Of course, it is much larger than Baiyang Island and has many more resources, but its shortcomings are still very obvious.

There are many new-age mines, such as iron ore, but they are pitifully rare.

In the new era, without iron ore, it would be like being lame.

Although tempered materials can be used instead in many places, steel can also be tempered, and the performance ceiling after tempering is very high.

Tempered steel can demonstrate performance that far exceeds that of Earth's high-performance steel, and can naturally create more powerful magical mechanical creations.

So iron ore is still very important.

"It seems that we have to go out to sea to grab iron ore!"

After taking a general look at the human and material resources of the island, I began to look at the money, or more accurately, the gold and silver currencies.

'Among the properties confiscated from the earls and great nobles, the total amount in cash was 49.82 million Ogg.'

"The Earl of Southern County is so rich!"

This is a lot of money, but it is far from enough to realize Rosen's plan to build various magical industries.

'The deposit certificate that Dawn Bank needs to exchange is 31.28 million Ogg, of which 5.31 million Ogg is Levender's fake deposit certificate.'

Rosen frowned as he watched: "The little king of Levender is secretly doing this on such a large scale!"

More than five million Oggs account for less than half of the Duke of Vilan's previous financial revenue, and he must ask Levinder to compensate him.

If he doesn't pay back the compensation, he will make the little king live in unrest.

After reading almost all the statistical data, Rosen closed the statistical booklet, patted it in his hands, and said to Alia beside him: "Hey~~ The huge Weiland is essentially Aaron's large plantation."

There isn't much property worth showing off.

Even the factories were crude processing plants for cash crops, and there were not many cotton spinning mills.

There is not even a single high-end magic industry.

Arya chuckled. "It used to be, but not now, sir."

“That’s right.”

Stretching, Rosen planned to go and see how Selena's arrangements were going. However, he had not taken a few steps when he heard news from the front yard that a group of envoys from the Glorious Empire had arrived.

"Let me see the envoy of the Glorious Empire. Hmm, he's interesting. I'll let my clone meet him tonight."

He is very busy during the day and cannot spare any time. He cannot be seen for a while after dinner because there are so many people who want to see him, and each of them is very important.

We can only arrange a late night meeting.

Before figuring out the situation, the real body does not plan to show up for the time being, because Queen Zhuoya is suspected to be a nine-ring wizard, and her magical skills are extremely terrifying.

Although Rosen has ten rings of magic power and his own unique skills, it is never too cautious when two kings meet.
