Chapter 505： Old ancestor's business

"In summary, the situation in Lu'an City has basically stabilized. Through propaganda and guidance and several effective work-for-work, the officials of the Office of Government Affairs we sent won the initial trust of the local people, and the large-scale renovation of the church area. It is regarded as the triumph of the 'British Resistance' campaign and has won praise and support from almost all Lu’an citizens."

Heti put a report in front of Gao Wen, and said, his face showed a relief.

"In this way, even if the diehard elements of the old church want to mess, it is very difficult to pick up any waves."

Gao Wen flipped through the report in front of him and nodded slightly: "It's very good... but it's still necessary to be wary of the resurgence. It's not terrible to let the embarrassment work on the bright side. It is the most difficult stage to turn into lurking. This is handed over to Amber, the officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau are very good at this kind of thing. Right, how is the progress of the inner wall removal work over there?"

Heti thought for a moment: "According to the plan, the west side and the east side of the church area will be dismantled by two-thirds. The remaining walls will be preserved only as a commemorative and decorative effect. At present, the West Wall has begun to demolish the Luan citizens. We certainly support this, but to be honest... the ancestor, is it really necessary?"

"The inner wall of Lu'an City is different from other places. For centuries, the wall is not only a wall, but also a symbol, symbolizing the absolute boundary between God and man, symbolizing the class of the official and ordinary people. Absolute divide, as long as the wall is still there, even if we dismantle the cathedral, the 'church area' in people's minds is still an area that ordinary people can't get involved, and this is completely contrary to the holy optics that the Protestant teachings promote. Gao Wen patiently explained, "I know that you are considering what the inner wall is a part of the city's defense. Demolition of the inner wall may cause Luan City's ability to cope with the disaster. For this, you can look at it..."

Gao Wen said as he pulled out a piece of information from his hand and pushed it to Heti, who was standing across the table.

Herti looked down curiously and immediately found out that this is a sketch of a large rune array. The rune details above are not listed because of the length of the space, but clearly marked on the roughly circular general structure. Energy extraction array, resonance zone, functional zone, amplification zone, projection zone, etc.

"What is this?" Herti carefully looked at the content of the information, "Scale... so big?!"

“It’s the city-level shield of the Rock Fortress,” Gao Wen took up the tea cup next to it and took a sip. “We found the original design of the city shield in the library of the Rock Fortress. In the process of transforming the fortress, the project The staff also dug up the foundation. After seeing the rune array data from a hundred years ago, Jenny studied her apprentices and assistants for half a month. This is their result."

Herti’s eyes widened, and the hand holding the drawing even shivered. For a wizard, this is an unimaginable treasure!

Although the mage is now almost full-time engaged in urban construction and internal affairs...

“City-level magic shields are strategic level creations... There are fewer than ten shields of this level in Ansou...” Herti’s tone is unbelievable, “The Rune Institute... Even this kind of thing is energy production?!"

“The biggest problem with city-level shields is energy consumption and stability. Because of the high energy consumption, it must be built on the natural magic focus. Because of the need to ensure stability, it consumes a lot of expensive magic materials. These two limits. Its application, but now Jenny has made two layers of optimization, and directly integrated the base structure of the magic net and the city-level shield, which makes it possible for mass production," Gao Wen said. I plan to install the first validated shield in Lu'an City, which can be used in parallel with the large-scale renovation of the church area. If the effect is as expected, then every city or even every town-level unit on the Cecil land in the future. These shields will be built."

"To... put strategic-level shields on the town?!" Hetti screamed, and at the same time, his mind suddenly passed a large budget, and on the spot she planned to kill the ancestors’ thoughts. Go back, "You must calm down the ancestors! This is a giant shield system, not a magic street light..."

Cecil’s housekeeper, who is in charge of financial power, lost his wisdom in the face of budgetary problems. Even with Rebecca, the ancestors proved that the Cecier’s head iron talent is mostly a genetic factor, but there are The person is dominant, and some people are hidden for the time being...

Gao Wen looked at Herti, the expression of the death of the original, most of them can guess why this granddaughter is out of order, anyway, Herti’s gaffe is no more than two reasons, either overtime or no money, now look at her spirit. The state is okay, there is no smoky makeup on the eye, and most of it is no money, so he shook his head: "Don't be so nervous, the giant shields optimized by Jenny are cheaper than you think, and once this large project starts This means the rise of a large number of affiliated industries, the manufacture of by-products of the shield unit, new construction machinery, and a large number of jobs, which will become benefits in the long run."

"There is value when the money flows. Is there a mine in the vault?" Hetty reluctantly thought of what the ancestors had said to himself. Then she looked at Gao Wen and said with a little hesitation, "The ancestor, you Is there a reason to put this shield in every town..."

Gao Wen looked at Hertty's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh that this had been once... The great-granddaughter was really a smart person, and her cleverness was different from that of Rebecca. She was always keen to find the key to the problem, which reduced A lot of communication difficulties (of course, Rebecca can sometimes mistakenly find the key point of the problem, but the straight scorpion always tries to hit the key point with his head): "As you think, the magic tide We always have to face it."

Herti sighed, and her heart said so.

The cost of installing this huge shield system in every city and town-level settlement is expensive, even as the ancestors said, Jenny has reduced its cost to the level that the Cecil Principality can afford. , that is still a huge expense. The situation in the Principality has just stabilized. There are countless infrastructure projects waiting for the current stage of construction. A considerable part of the infrastructure capacity is used on this expensive shield with no direct economic output. There is only one sex...

The magic tide is coming at any time.

"I understand," Hetty bowed slightly and solemnly said, "I will make plans for this."

Looking at his face and Heti, who is ready to go to death, Gao Wen is thinking about it.

The situation in the Principality has been stabilized, and internal and external troubles have basically been settled or there will be no possibility of an outbreak. Next, Cecil will undoubtedly usher in a stage of rapid development. With the start of four new industrial cities, there will be Numerous infrastructure projects, countless basic education projects, countless talent recruitment programs... In order to ensure that all of this can be carried out smoothly, Cecil will consume a lot of money and resources.

At present, the economy within the Principality is indeed developing rapidly. Thanks to the promotion of the new government order and the support of merchants everywhere, the river of trade that was originally bound by the old aristocracy is being thawed, and the gold coins are beginning to be on a new road and newly opened. The river runs through the waterways, but these are still not enough.

The magical industry is an infinite beast of appetite. It has to devour more things to grow up. Gao Wen must at least let it grow to the point where it can develop itself to achieve initial peace of mind, and rely solely on the economic dividend of the New Deal reform within the Principality. The development of the head beast will become very dangerous: the single economic support is unstable, and once the economic chain has a little problem, the Principality of Cecil may collapse at any time.

In particular, there are so many big projects that are now open... Gao Wen does not want to be able to lay down the basics, and it will be dragged down by a few big projects that have developed too fast.

Hetty noticed that his ancestors had not spoken for a long time and couldn't help but curiously ask: "The ancestor... What are you thinking?"

Gao Wen sighed while thinking about one side: "The lack of money and resources... is a problem."

"Who are you thinking about this time?"

"You said Wang Guojun..." Gao Wen said casually, but just said half of it will react. "What did you say?"

Heti also reacted after saying the words, suddenly blushing, and quickly bent down: "Sorry ancestor! I... I was a little distracted..."

Gao Wen said that the truth is a bit stunned. He has never seen the mature and steady Heti will be in a state of continuous disappointment in such a short period of time. It seems that there is no money recently. Just mention the budget-related topic of this granddaughter directly. It is out of control.

He coughed twice and knocked on the table: "The next time we notice that we never hang people, we are a business that is upright. Back to the topic, the Principality of Cecil closed the gate of the Rock Fortress, but we cannot completely close it. It can't be closed forever. The city of Shishicheng is a fortress city. Some areas are designed to be used as trade transit areas at the beginning of design. Now that the fortress is not completed, the merchants can already act."

The ancestors were keen on doing business, and it turned out that the business of the ancestors sometimes did bring more benefits than the war, so Hedi immediately responded: "Do you intend to trade with the Holy Spirit Plain?"

"Strictly speaking, it is doing business with the royal family," Gao Wen nodded. "What do you think Wang Guojun lacks?"

"...the alchemy pharmacy is not lacking," Heti said as he said. "The holy army has joined the kingdom army camp. On the battlefield, the priest and the church knight can not be magical, with holy water and holy light support, and Wang Guojun on alchemy. The demand for potions is not big, they are lacking... it should be a more powerful weapon."

Speaking of this Hettonton, he continued: "The kingdom army has almost never been able to defeat the same number of Dongjing Legion on the battlefield. The main reason is that the quality of the soldiers is very poor. The Dongjing Legion must face the Tifeng people and the border people. Therefore, they are almost all veterans of the past, and Wang Guojun said that in addition to the mountain corps from the north, ordinary soldiers almost have two or three people to deal with an eastbound person... the quality of soldiers is difficult to upgrade in a short time, but if there is With a more sophisticated weapon, Wang Guojun can narrow the gap with the Eastern Army in a short period of time."

"That seems we can make a batch of 'foreign trade weapons'..." Gao Wen touched his chin and said, "Let Nicholas eggs design and design..."

Herti looked at Gao Wen with some hesitation: "The ancestor... Do you really want to sell the weapon to Wang Guojun?"

Gao Wen replied with certainty: "We need funds, as well as the rich minerals of the Holy Spirit Plain."

Then he waited for Herti to speak, and he continued to think thoughtfully: "In addition... Since the Holy Light sect that is best at healing has completely turned to the Royal Army, then you feel that the Eastern Army Corps is lacking in medicine. ?"

Hetty: "???"
