The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

"What's the matter?" Zlatkin looked at Charles with some curiosity and took a picture of himself.

"It's nothing." Charles said, "It just confirmed a conjecture I made while reading some books."

"Professor Zlatkin, I have a question. "Charles asked, "At that time, Fillip's reforms inevitably touched the interests of some people. Didn't those people oppose it?"

Zlatkin shook the head with a wry smile, and asked: "You know, For a country and nation that has been losing more and losing less for more than a thousand years, what do they desire most?"

Charles picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "It is a change that can bring victory."

At this point, Charles, who has a lot of research on modern Chinese history, has a deep understanding. From "learning from the barbarians to develop skills to control barbarians" to "supply-side structural reforms", whenever the country encounters various difficulties, there will always be people who stand up to change and become stronger.

"Yes." Zlatkin also drank a cup of tea to moisturize his throat, and then said, "Fillip gave everyone hope of victory at that time."

" He taught us what is called productivity and what is called production relationship."

"He also used some reform special zones composed of farms and towns directly under the emperor to tell us in the most direct way what is called liberation of productivity. , Develop productivity."

"There is a huge mule island in the center of Lake Neva not far north of Abyss City. It is one of the first places where Fillip carried out pilot reforms." Zlatkin When I said this, I looked towards Ami Ya, and then asked, "Little girl, where is your hometown, right?"

"Yes." Amia nodded.

Zlatkin continued: "That year, the residents of the mule island after the reform broke out with great enthusiasm for production, and the grain output was a lot higher than in previous years. In the slack season. , The residents were building water conservancy facilities under the organization of the local government. In the second year, the food production on the island rose again by a big margin."

"In the Imperial Family Springfield Weapon Workshop, west of Abyss City Reforms were also carried out. The profit of the workshop was distributed according to the Imperial Family income, the workshop’s own funds, the bonus of ordinary workers, and the bonus of the management. In that year, the production and quality of the weapons produced by the workshop were significantly improved."

"With these examples in front of us, who would oppose his reforms?"

Charles fell into contemplation after listening.

He still has an important question that he doesn’t understand, which is why Old Ancestor and the Queen’s ancestor have to perish together on the battlefield instead of continuing to lead the country. At that time, they had already won the final tragic victory on the battlefield. After Victoria arrived, it was even more impossible that someone would hurt them.

If they had become gods... but Charles didn't think it would be that simple to become gods. The unlucky child of Reimu became a god too late, and then he didn't even get a better priesthood, and he almost became a god of poverty. The two old men are even later, maybe even the god of poverty can't get it. The most important thing is how mortals condensing Divine Spark into gods. Charles has never heard of it. The top of mortals is a servant like Blanche.

In contrast, the possibility of becoming a god servant is much greater. But why should such a solemn matter be concealed? It doesn't make sense. Would you like to have a meal when you are admitted to college? Wouldn't you be the beginning of a three-day running banquet when you become a servant of the gods?

In the end, Old Ancestor said at the time that he would come back several hundred years later, how would he do it? Did he wear it back and come back after watching the ending of Conan?

Charles couldn't think of one after thinking about it. It seems that he can only ask Reimu when he has a chance in the future.

After solving the most important problem and introducing a series of new questions, Charles continued to look for all useful clues in the book.

Unfortunately, there are no clues in this book.

After coming to the Rurik Empire, Old Ancestor’s main tasks were threefold. One was to deepen and improve the reform of the political system, the other was to strengthen the construction of the divine symbol, and the third was to formulate long-term development. According to the plan, his old man played a lively farming stream in a game of cheat and golden thighs.

In terms of army building, it is the queen's ancestor who is doing it. However, we also saw a lot of Old Ancestor traces, such as "Three Disciplines, Eight Attentions."

The technical aspects are handled by the helpers from Old Ancestor summon distributed all over the country. From the planting of staple foods to the use of new farm tools, from the new steelmaking furnace to the promotion of the concept of standard parts. The level of agriculture and handicrafts in the Rurik Empire has been greatly improved in the past ten years.

For example, large-scale fish farming in ponds, Charles has never heard of it in the east. If you want to eat fish, you have to catch them now. Even in China, it was only after the liberation that with the efforts of Academician Liu Yun and the others, that the people all over the country could eat cheap fish. Here, we have now mastered the techniques of breeding, rearing, and disease treatment of several domestic fish.

Aleksey said that the people of the demon race are eating grass and can't afford to wear pants. It is estimated that there is a department in the Rurik Kingdom. I just don't know how Brigitte and Locke Bu Laien, who are waiting for the Forge Temple to visit, will make this happen.

It's just that steel production and coal production have too many absenteeisms in various aspects, and the level has not yet risen.

Now if we take lessons in power systems such as steam engines and increase production with mechanical excavation, this land may usher in a large-scale industrial upgrade.

Thinking of this, Charles started to sweat again.

Now the mankind is preparing for the next war. If when the time comes, he encounters a demon race with a foot into the industrialization......

Well, he thinks he is when the time comes can learn from Jia Gui.

Then Charles asked: "Professor Zlatkin, what are the factors restricting the development of the Kingdom of Rurik?"

People who study history tend to With a deep understanding, Charles would have such a question.

"It's the population problem." Zlatkin said, "Our population is too small."

"Why?" Charles thought it strange.

He just saw in a newly published book on the agricultural policy of Fillip that in recent years the crop yields in the Kingdom of Rurik are not low, and there is no situation where children cannot be fed.

"Internal trouble and outside aggression!" Zlatkin sighed, "Internal trouble is that the domestic devil beast is too much and too ferocious. In order to resist the attack of the devil beast, we have lost too much youngster. "

At this time, Charles also followed sighed. Yesterday he could see on the farm that the devil beast had caused a lot of damage to the local agricultural production.

Zlatkin continued: "There is also a tug of war with the devil in the mountain range of the west, alas..."

Charles asked: "Then Fillip did not stay. Is there any powerful weapon?"

Zlatkin thought for a moment, and then said: "Demon King Your Majesty tells me that you can tell you anything about Fillip."

Then he stood up and said: "Please come with me."

There are two well-guarded basements under the Imperial Family Library. Only those with valid certificates and certificates are here. People can get in.

After receiving the news, Nicholas II personally teleported over to help Charles brush their faces before Charles, Zlatkin and Nicholas II could enter.

In a huge exhibition hall on the bottom floor, Charles saw a lot of familiar things.

"These are the weapons and various tools of the foreign world that Fillip has inquired about from the heroes from the foreign world." Zlatkin introduced to the dumbfounded Charles, "It's a pity that we because For various reasons, they have not been able to make them."

Then he picked up a gun that didn’t know whether it was an Bayi bar or an AK47 and said to Charles: “This is designed and made by Fillip. Automatic firecrackers. In theory, goblin can use it to deal with ordinary devil beasts."

Charles took the automatic firecrackers and played with it, and found that its main structure is similar to the firearms of the previous life.

"Then why not produce?" he asked.

Zlatkin counted with his fingers: "First of all, we don’t have enough, cheap and safe propellant for formidable power. Propellants made of charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter are not suitable."

"Secondly, we can't produce them on a large scale." At this time, he pointed to a few huge machines on the other side, "We can't make suitable lathes, boring machines, milling machines and other equipment. Power problems have been troubled. Follow us."

Charles' frowned, he couldn't figure out why Old Ancestor didn't build a steam engine here. Even if coal production is insufficient, it is okay to meet the needs of the factory. The conditions in the Huangyadong Arsenal were so difficult in those days. There was only one steam engine, and the number of various machine tools and other equipment was less than half a hundred, which effectively supported the War of Resistance. Even if you can't equip firearms on a large scale, you can equip a small number of elite troops. But they can only lie in the basement, which makes Charles puzzled.

It's just that Charles doesn't know anything about these machine tools. He doesn't know anything about machine tools such as turning, planing, drilling, punching, cutting, and cutting, and he hasn't even seen some of them.

As for the propellant of a bullet, Charles has only heard of it and never seen it. Although he heard that in high school, someone tried to make nitrocellulose in a chemistry experiment class, but was ridiculed by the chemical teacher when he discovered it. Later, the chemistry teacher said in the class that she met one or two students who tried to engage in nitrocellulose every year, and even if she succeeded, she was still at the toy level. In the end, she hung up a picture of her own nitrocellulose setting off firecrackers on the school football field, indicating that those of you who are careful should study more.

Think of this, Charles shook the head, every industrialized product is the spire of the pyramid, and the tower below it is a series of basic industries. The production of bullet shells alone is enough to drive craftsmen crazy.

As for the musket, it does not have a big advantage when facing a mage, and the speed of reloading can't keep up with the speed of others' spells. The front musket without rifling is even more touching, and the difficulty of processing rifling is also touching. It also has little advantage against devil beasts. The life force of devil beasts in this world is too strong, and it is easy to break through at a distance of less than 50 meters. Coupled with the difficulty of manually drilling the barrel, the output of the gun is very low. Therefore, the muskets in this world appear more as gorgeous crafts and toys for the rich.

In the past, Charles had a gold-plated and diamond-encrusted rifle on the wall in the living room, which was much more gorgeous than the gold-plated and crystal-encrusted pistol that their caravan bought a while ago.

And the breech...Because it is too difficult to process, it is a treasure in the collection. It is said that Charles grandfather's father-in-law has one in his collection.

Apart from this, there are many common things on Earth in the exhibition hall, but due to technology, tools, materials and cost, they have not been mass-produced.

After walking around the exhibition hall, Zlatkin left by himself, and Nicholas II left Charles.
