Chapter 108

The devil's guess is right.

The king really wanted to promote the industrialization of Legrand in a special way from the beginning.

After the "change of the rose", in order to consolidate the royal power and weaken the power of the local aristocracy, the king once ordered his financial officials to compile the whole tax register of Legrand. The compiled tax book was later nicknamed "Doomsday Book". At the request of the king, it became a law to collect national tax reports regularly. At that time, the king began to understand the economic situation of his country step by step.

It can be said that today's Legrand has begun to have some germination of a new era.

From the 11th century to the 13th century, Legrand's political situation tended to be stable. The rose royal family has gradually recovered from the previous heavy losses. With the efforts of the promising monarchs of all dynasties, Legrand gradually moved towards reunification from a state of numerous states. Under the rule of a stable regime, the economy gradually recovered.

From the middle and late 13th century to the 14th century, cities began to be built rapidly. Chroniclers call this period "the rise of cities". The basic traffic arteries in Legrand appeared, and rural residents began to flow to the city center. Under the background of the rise of the city, in the southeast of Legrand, commerce, which had been suppressed by the doctrine of the Holy See, gradually developed and Guilds flourished, among which the wool textile industry was the most prominent.

Without the outbreak of the black death and a series of subsequent events, this kind of economic evolution of Legrand can go on smoothly, and Legrand may not be able to grow and prosper step by step, and finally enter a new era smoothly.

But history has no ifs.

The outbreak of the black death and the establishment of the holy Kingdom interrupted this gradual evolution.

Since history has been deflected by the existence of extraordinary forces, we should use the same method to make it embark on a more dangerous and possible road.

At first, the king wanted to start with alchemists.

In his letter, the Duke of Buckingham told him that in fact, a number of notes left by alchemists of the legendary age were kept in the Rose Palace. They left the knowledge they learned to the latecomers, but the former royal family of Legrand had no spare power. On the other hand, they were afraid of the Holy See, and they did not want to reveal their cards too early, so they did not use it on a large scale.

The king asked the scientists of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the madman academy to study the notes left by the alchemists. The notes left by the alchemists really helped them a lot.

But just like the devil said, it will take too long for him to rely on his own strength to further combine alchemy and science to promote industrialization.

They need another, extraordinary force to accomplish this miracle.

The only partner is hell.

The alchemist of the legendary age was right about the evaluation of the rose family.

Dragon killers, they have always been schemers by all means. As long as we can achieve our goal, what's wrong with joining hands with hell? However, if the time is right, they will not hesitate to turn against hell. To some extent, what the devil once said is right.

King, Duke of Buckingham, William III All the people of the rose family are more suitable for the hell full of chaos and intrigue than people believe in the Kingdom full of justice and light.

In the Rose Palace, the King opened his eyes.

The dark fog in the bedroom had receded. The room was quiet. The king got up and went to the glass window. The pale moonlight fell on him. He raised his hand and pressed his brow wearily.

For the final victory, nothing can't be used as a chess piece.

After pondering for a while, the king returned to his desk and began to write a new writ.

He needs some experienced engineers. Thanks to the northern rebellion some time ago, before the military ordnance engineers have time to return to their homes, now they just need to select some excellent talents from them. In addition, he needs more blacksmiths, carpenters, chemists, gunpowder men and so on

The best chemists in Legrand are in the king's madman Academy of Sciences, but you can't expect two chemists to complete such a huge project, can you?

After "the first pathological research department of Legrand", the second branch of the madman Academy was finally established.

The king paused and filled in the letter of appointment:

the first military heavy industry department of Legrand.

Yes, the industrialization promoted in this special way is undoubtedly a deformed sector produced by special means in a special period. It was born in the war, and its ultimate goal is to serve the war.

After signing his name, the king stopped writing with a sudden movement.

The moonlight and frost spread into the room, and a bright red rose was quietly placed on the king's table under the common illumination of the candle and the moonlight. As like as two peas on the rose green, they wear a bone ring - almost the same as the one on the king's hand.

It's just almost nothing.The king picked up the bone ring, turned it a little, and saw the inscription in it:

"the power of pride and unknown judgment".

This is the devil's gift to the king, the real hell.

……………………

Perhaps chroniclers should remember these two names:

bran Rogers and Miley Rogers.

They are a pair of brothers.

The Rogers brothers are not really from a bad family. They have a good education.

Originally, they should be knights, and then become two respected The lower nobility. However, poor old Mr. Rogers in his castle tower almost burned down one day, finally found that his eyes of good sons have gone astray.

They don't like the exquisite armor or the sharp sword. Instead, they indulge in a pile of bottles and jars, and spend all their time with fireworks artisans.

It really broke the heart of old Mr. Rogers. Unfortunately, he tried his best and could not make his sons right. At last, he had to send them to the seminary, hoping that the Almighty God could influence them with mercy.

It turned out that the LORD had not been able to save the pair of lost lambs.

The dean of the seminary almost painfully drove them out of the gate of the Seminary: Lord! Why did the peaceful Trinity seminary teach such a madman.

If they follow such a path, the Rogers brothers are doomed to become what people call "scum" -- for some black powder, they ruined the property left by the old Rogers, did not do business, did not believe in God, and even were thrown into prison because of the fire.

The turning point in the fate of the two brothers came on the day when the king entered the gloomy prison.

As a result, they turned from a spurned "scum" to the president of the madman Academy of Sciences. From then on, they got the king's full support and were able to carry on the experiments that they had been unable to complete. Originally, they thought that was the biggest turning point of their own destiny.

However, the noble majesty told them with his practical actions:

No, that's not.

"Gaga, Gaga."

A crow flew over the heads of the Rogers brothers and made a piercing cry.

As the sulfur choking wind blows to his face, bran and Miley lead a group of excellent gunpowder workers gathered from all over rogrand, who are now the assistants of the Rogers brothers, standing on the black ground. In front of them is a huge, half built base.

Lord! What did they see!

Under the dark red sky and on the black rocks, skeletons wave iron tools to knock down blocks of stone. Then another group of skeletons move rocks to and fro towards the sky. They quickly build neat houses at a speed that human beings can't do.

The architect of the madman Academy of Sciences, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness habit, had arrived earlier. He was standing on a big stone, shouting at the skull who was directing these activities.

All the people who received the king's letter of appointment finally accepted a chilling fact:

there was nothing wrong with what the housekeeper said when he met them - the "rogrand first military heavy industry department" in the letter of appointment was really in hell.

Hell, literally, is not a metaphor.

"My God..."

The Rogers brothers are calm, but the others behind them can't help but groan. Now they can understand why they are escorted to the meeting place by Royal Knights after they accept the letter of appointment.

It's not "escort," it's to prevent them from escaping halfway.

Now, people in hell, they want to escape, there is no place to escape.

The king's personal appointment did not give them any way out.

Bran bowed his head and opened the letter that the housekeeper finally gave him. The housekeeper told him that he could only open it when he was there. After reading, bran handed the letter to his brother.

He turned and looked at the others.

"See that pile of stones over there?"

Bran pointed to a piece of black rock and said to the assistants who were in a trance and couldn't believe where they were.

The assistants nodded.

"Good." Bran nodded. "Gentlemen, if we can't develop a kind of gunpowder to meet your Majesty's requirements under such abundant resources and excellent conditions, then The neat black stones you see now will be our guillotine. "

After reading the letter, Miley added: "Mr. skeletons have kindly helped us write our names on each stone. If you are interested, you can also find out which stone your guillotine is

One side of the shoulder blade nailed up by the skull team leader came, it is responsible for welcoming the gunpowder research team.In order to prove Miley's words, the skull team leader nodded repeatedly, and he showed a kind smile to his "brothers and brothers". However, for the sake of hell, don't tell him how penetrating a skull's jaw smile is.

Go, go, go.

The bones of the skeletons were moving and colliding, making rhythmic sounds.

In such a "friendly" and "happy" meeting, the king's first military heavy industry department in Legrand officially started.

Congratulations.

The author has something to say: tyrant: the first friendly docking between human and hell goes smoothly

skeletons:???

Gunpowder workers:???
