Duke of Grief

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Calvin turned to look at the construction site in the distance, and without looking back, he complained to Gregory around him: "It's too hot, if it's the whole summer and autumn If it's hot, it may not be possible to finish the railway by next year."

Squeezing labor has almost become another tradition of nobility, but that is the old aristocratic business, at least Calvin and Gregorian will not be conspicuous, do such exhaustive things.

More than half a year has passed. Since the end of last summer, they began to lay the railway linking both "Morrow" and the northern city of "Awein", but due to the huge workload, and other people do not know how to "fuck" At most, it can only start construction in three places at the same time.

So until now, this railway has only been laid a little more than half.

If you go on like this, it may not be possible to lay this railway by the spring of next year-and it must be that they will work overtime in winter and step up construction!

They had already chartered tickets for His Majesty and the old nobles who had invested money, but a railway needs to be built for so long, how dare they guarantee that they will continue to invest money on other railway lines?

Most of the people in the manufacturing and research departments have been pulled into the construction of the railway. Except for the few technicians who need to stay in Moro to repair the steam engine and various machinery, Calvin and Gregory need to participate in person. .

Since they are all employed by social idlers, they need to be more cautious when supervising their work. After the construction of a section of railway, it is necessary to check three or four times in a row to confirm that the quality has passed.

But there are very few roads that can be crossed at once. Those who are fond of talking about pets and dogs will certainly be lazy and slippery, especially the steel for casting railways is particularly precious-those guys will secretly cut off a section, try to hide in pockets, hide Under the bed, then take it back to sell.

Calvin and Gregory couldn’t help it. The old nobles didn’t raise enough money for them to pay too high a salary. In this case, it’s good to be able to recruit some social idlers.

It takes a lot of labor to build a railway, but they need more materials and processing costs. They can't allocate a little of those funds to pay the laborers' salary, otherwise the quality of the railway will not pass.

The steam locomotives they manufacture can even be "unfinished products", but they are only very close to the "finished products", and they have high requirements for railway quality.

Rao is so, they still received some of the following reports, the quality of some of the steel in the report is not satisfactory, and then they hurried to check, it is really the pups of the logistics department who moved their hands and feet, so angry that they held it. The oracles given to them by San XIII cut their heads and pulled up their confiscations before filling in the gaps.

The beneficiaries of this hands-on scalping must be more than them, but Calvin and Gregory could not move even more people at the top. They could only cut off some outstretched hands in order to be effective.

Various reasons piled up, which greatly slowed down the progress of the project. The "Morrow-Awein" line, which was originally planned to be opened to traffic in autumn, has only been built for most of the time until now. It is a problem at the end of this year.

And in the recent period, after the news from Mendes Big 6 came over, Calvin and Gregory are now starting to intentionally or unintentionally hinder the progress of railway construction.

I knew with my toes that those nobles had noticed the Principality of Sad Wind!

Not only did a line not be completed, the old nobles also noticed the existence of the Principality of Winds, which forced Calvin to spit hard water.

As the air gets hotter and hotter, the worker can only work for half at most, and then he has to rest after half.

"Damn it!"

Sitting under the sultry shed, Calvin tossed the pen aside and unbuttoned his shirt, but this could only solve the urgent need.

This is really too hot, although it was not as hot as last year, but there is not so much rain this year. Compared with last year, it will rain almost every few years. They have only seen it in the months from spring to present this year. Six or seven rains, and they were seen in different cities.

After realizing that the old nobles were working secretly in the dark, they also began to expedite the construction of the first half, so that the Moro was connected to several cities in the first half, and the influence of the royal family expanded.

It is natural to be able to'break' the old nobles completely before they no longer invest money in the construction of the railway. It is good to build the "Morrow-Awein" line, but now this is the case, they are only Can shift the focus of work to the first half of the railway, at least here is almost completed.

As long as the trial operation can be officially opened to traffic, although this may be a bit urgent, but the time is not waiting for people, they must race against the clock.

Not only was the hot air, but also a lot of bad news disturbed Calvin's mood, making it difficult for him to calm down.

Gregorian, who was sitting next to him, could not keep calm at this time. He grabbed the pen but couldn't write a letter at all.

To them, the recent bad news is really too much, originally planned to connect the Moro and Avian by rail first, so that the royal family can directly control the rear of the northern front, so that they will be enough To influence other old nobles.

And a line can also bring them great benefits-they can do some business along the way by using the idle cars, buying and selling along the way, and their wallets will soon swell up, and by then, they will not have to Ignoring those old nobles, you will be able to build railways by yourself.

It's a pity that the unsuccessful are willing.

What happened in the Principality of Sad Wind in Mendes 6 reached the ears of the lords of the Ogden Empire in a short time. Although they were not worried that those knights and long ears could come across the sea and kill them On their territory, they were curious about the principality, which was not large but had dozens of'van knights'.

After having curiosity, I couldn't help but check it. I didn't know if I didn't check it. I was shocked by the surprise.

Because they suddenly appeared, is the political system of the Ogden Empire now similar to that of the Principality? Civil servants and new nobles... look very similar!

Although they are well aware of the issue of enclosing the'new nobility', it was already decided to have a good chat as early as the throne of Caesar XIII. The Principality imitates them...

But even so, you have to guard!

The Principality of Griefwind seems to foretell their future. If they don't want to be like the aristocrats in the Principality of Griefwind, they have to plan early.

The new nobles are all the dogs of Caesar XIII, and as long as the new nobles want to do anything, they will hinder.

In this situation, it is good for Calvin and Gregory to remain calm.

Calvin angrily picked up a glass of water and poured it from the top of his head, but even the water was warm!

"Damn! Since they did that at Mendes Big 6, why don't they come to us and make a fuss?"

I don’t know if it’s sweaty or soaked in water, Calvin muttered to himself: "Who doesn’t know that those **** old nobles have elf slaves at home?"

Calvin was nagging from time to time, and Gregory had become accustomed to it, but now he is not thinking about it.

"I'm a little worried……"

Hearing Gregory's sudden opening, Calvin stopped the verbal abuse and turned to look.

The ice man in his impression frowned, looking at the blank paper on the table without saying a word.

Calvin waited for a while before Gregory said: "This year is dry and hot, and there is very little rainfall. Even in recent days, the logistics transport team is complaining that the water in the well has become less..."

The minister of the Imperial Research Department, the research maniac living in the rumors of the nobles, stood up silently and looked at the construction site, his irritability disappeared, and only dignity remained.

Gregorian put down his pen and sighed with regret, "Drought..."

"Maybe it's coming!" Duke of Winds
